The following individuals are some of the distinctive Lone Star artists I've been personally acquainted with over the years. The hallmark of these artists is their originality. Together they show a range of self-expression that is not limited to a specific regional style. All three have exhibited their work internationally.

James Cobb: An innovative artist working in traditional and digital media as well as audio. MacWorld Art Expo honored the fascinating digital print "Jack," one in a series of embellished full body scans called "Our Children."

Sam Coronado: An accomplished painter and master printmaker whose work is distinguished by multi-cultural influence.

Nathan Jensen: Multifaceted artist whose bent, figurative paintings possess a subtle spiritual quality. Nathan's animation work is featured in the noted Richard Linklater film "Waking Life."
